Of course!
You couldn't make a tower crane with cooked pasta.
The coefficient of transverse floppyosity is way too high, not to mention the Young's Modulus.

By the laws of doo-dah, does the thrubble splunger need to be as straight as the congeminating sproggles, by the way? Curious minds need to know....

Iron ore. Copper ore. Some other stuff, I guess.

Perhaps the post boiled version.

It's hard to glue the ends together to make a long string.

Ha Ha.

If you fill a macaroni with a spaghetti you could make an infinite length. Depending on your timing, during cooking, you could make wheels out of this duel pasta contraption. No super glue needed.

OD of spaghetti = ID of macaroni kind of stuff. Time for a pasta crossbow I suppose
